UPRT in Your Aircraft, Virtually: APS Leverages VR Technology

UPRT in your aircraft, virtually: APS leverages VR technology to further mitigate the LOC-I threat.

Simulation allows pilots to experience upset training scenarios close to the ground.

Loss of control in-flight (LOC-I) accidents kill more people than any other type of aircraft accidents. For decades it has been a leading killer, and the threat continues to persist on any flight at any time. During an LOC-I event, pilots have only seconds to precisely and properly recover from an aircraft upset. When they don't, these accidents are nearly always fatal.

To effectively combat the LOC-I threat, training organizations must use a variety of tools to implement upset prevention and recovery training (UPRT) programs. For more than 25 years, Mesa, Arizona-based Aviation Performance Solutions (APS) has used a mix of academic, on-aircraft, and simulator training to deliver UPRT programs to pilots from all disciplines. Now, APS is using virtual-reality technologies for the maximum transference of UPRT skills to a customer’s specific aircraft type.
